[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 323351, member: 8"] It looks like disc 5 has only one story on it and it's not a new villain, therefore I can rank the season 1 villains without having watched those last two episodes. [B]1. The Riddler[/B] I'm sure I've already mentioned everything I love about this character. [B]2. Penguin[/B] A formidable adversary who appears to be a bit more shrewd than the others - at least within the parameters of this particular Batman world. [B]3. Mad Hatter[/B] There's something charmingly childish about Mad Hatter, the very idea that the hatnapping was considered a new crime wave in Gotham City. It's an effective blend with the nutty character from Alice In Wonderland. [B]4. Catwoman[/B] Not that the other villains cared about their henchmen, but the dominatrix/worshippers dynamic gave it a lot of "cult" appeal, and I don't mean the popularity kind of cult. Like real cats she's a solitary person who marches to the beat of her own drum, which makes her one of the most unpredictable villains. [B]5. Mr. Freeze[/B] I thoroughly enjoyed the Bond vibes I got from this villain. It's not the most OTT episode but I loved the sci-fi hot/cold zone gadgetry which could have been used in shows like U.F.O. or The Avengers. [B]6. False Face[/B] Delightfully creepy and I'm always intrigued by shape-shifting and impostory. [B]7. Bookworm[/B] A quirky and seemingly harmless criminal except for his ferocious outbursts which creates a nice contrast. [B]8. The Joker[/B] No doubt Cesar Romero was having a ball with his performance but I feel that the Joker Show usually overshadows the villainy. I would have liked him to be more creepy instead of embracing his clown-y dumbness. [B]9. Zelda The Great[/B] Not the most notable villain but let's not forget that image of Aunt Harriet dangling above a big pot of burning oil while Zelda calmly continues her knitting. [B]10. King Tut[/B] It's not that I dislike him, I just don't have many positive things to say. [/QUOTE]
